Cholado is a cross between a frozen dessert, fruit cocktail, and a drink, and derives from El Valle region of Colombia. It is made with crushed ice, fresh fruit, condensed milk, passion fruit (maracuyá), and Colombian blackberry (mora) syrup, and is topped with shredded coconut and a maraschino cherry. It makes a wonderful summer dessert!
It has the perfect combination of flavors and textures. It's tangy, sweet, creamy, crunchy, and fruity, all in one spoonful. Cholado is one of those desserts you hope never ends. I used strawberries, banana, fresh pineapple and mango, but you can make cholados with any type of fruit you like!
Buen provecho!
